SOURCE / FIELD NOTE 01

Source a Tai 7 with evidence, not a recycled listing

A usable Tai 7 offer must identify a real vehicle and the exact powertrain route. The model now spans plug-in hybrid and EV products, while PHEV listings can also differ in battery, driven axle and equipment. Treat a photograph and price as a lead until the seller proves control of one candidate.

CONNECTED DECISIONS

Carry this evidence into the next relevant route.

Before comparing two listings, build the physical VIN and identity record for each candidate. Do not value domestic coverage before the warranty and overseas-support check.

01CHECKPOINT

Lock the candidate identity

Ask for the VIN or a controlled stock number, production label, odometer, exterior colour, interior colour and physical location in one dated record. Match those fields across the seller statement and same-day photographs before paying for inspection.

Evidence recordVIN and production-label photographs. Date it, identify the source, and state unresolved limits.

02CHECKPOINT

Name the propulsion route

Record EV or plug-in hybrid first. For a PHEV, identify two-wheel or four-wheel drive, battery capacity and the original Chinese version name. For an EV, capture the exact battery and charging version rather than borrowing data from the hybrid brochure.

Evidence recordoriginal Chinese configuration record. Tie it to this VIN and describe the observed outcome.

03CHECKPOINT

Prove seller control

Request a dated image or short video with the vehicle and a reference chosen for the enquiry. Confirm who can authorize inspection, sale and export documents. A marketplace account does not by itself prove ownership, custody or authority.

Evidence recordsame-day vehicle walkaround. Name the test conditions, reviewer and remaining uncertainty.

04CHECKPOINT

Separate new from stored

Unregistered is not the same as recently produced. Record build date, storage location, odometer, tyre dates, 12-volt condition, charging state, paint and transport marks. Verify whether any China-market benefits follow an exported vehicle.

Evidence recordseller authority and inspection permission. Keep the original record and mark when it expires.

05CHECKPOINT

Expire the offer

Put a validity date beside vehicle price, preparation, inland movement and freight. If the VIN, specification or seller changes, restart the affected checks. Do not transfer inspection conclusions from an unavailable car to its replacement.

Evidence recorddated price and custody statement. Reconfirm it at custody and document any material change.

HANDOVER FILE

Evidence to retain before the decision closes

Keep only material that answers this route, exposes uncertainty or preserves condition at a custody change.

BUYER SCENARIO

Apply the evidence to a realistic operating case.

Imagine that two advertisements show the same colour and English trim name. One seller can provide a VIN, production label, fresh walkaround and inspection access; the other offers a lower price but only catalogue photographs. Rank the first candidate higher until the second supplies equivalent control evidence. If the first vehicle is sold, do not copy its identity or inspection file to the remaining advertisement.

Stress the result by assuming “Prove seller control” reveals a conflict, “Separate new from stored” is delayed, or “Expire the offer” changes before custody. Rework the cost, timing and stop condition using same-day vehicle walkaround, seller authority and inspection permission, dated price and custody statement. A different VIN, propulsion route or installed configuration starts a new candidate record. The conclusion for Fangchengbao Tai 7 Current Sourcing Guide must explain how VIN and production-label photographs and original Chinese configuration record support or limit the selected route.

CLOSE THE FILE

Make the result dated, conditional and transferable.

For Fangchengbao Tai 7 Current Sourcing Guide, reconcile VIN and production-label photographs, original Chinese configuration record, same-day vehicle walkaround, seller authority and inspection permission, dated price and custody statement. Mark each item verified, seller-stated, estimated or unresolved, and put a responsible person and expiry date beside the open work. Keep commercial rows separate so a change in one assumption does not silently rewrite the whole conclusion.

Immediately before payment or handover, repeat “Lock the candidate identity” and confirm that the candidate still matches the reviewed record. Preserve the VIN, odometer, visible condition, keys, documents and relevant energy state. If the vehicle or a material specification changes, close this file and begin a new one.

OFFICIAL REFERENCE BOUNDARY

Use current China-market material as a reference, not vehicle proof.

Fangchengbao may revise equipment, software and specifications. Match official information to the production record and actual installed hardware. Review the official Fangchengbao Tai 7 reference, then verify the candidate and destination independently.
